APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Mr. James Smith
Southeast Brunswick Sanitary District
P.O. Box 357
Long Beach, NC 28465
Dear Mr. Smith:
You have our approval to place fill material in 0.6 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of
constructing a sewer system at Southeast Brunswick Sanitary District, Contract No. 3, as you described in
your application dated 21 November 1996. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill
is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3022. This certification allows you to use
Nationwide Permit Number 12 when it is issued by the Corps of Engineers.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you
change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. If total
wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be
required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must
follow the conditions listed in the attached certification. In addition, you should get any other federal, state
or local permits before you go ahead with your project. Also this approval will expire when the
accompanying 404 or CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory
hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a
written petition which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of
Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and its
conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean
Water Act. If you have any questions, please .telephone John Dorney at 919-733-1786.
Sincerely,
Peston 'Howard, Jr. P.E.

19.1 At least ten (10) days before each progress payment falls due (but not more often than once a
month), the CONTRACTOR will submit to the ENGINEER a partial payment estimate filled out
and signed by the CONTRACTOR covering the WORK performed during the period covered by
the partial payment estimate and supported by such data as the ENGINEER may reasonably
require. If payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the
WORK but delivered and suitably stored at or near the site, the partial payment estimate shall ah
be accompanied by such supporting data, satisfactory to the OWNER, as will establish the
OWNER'S title to the material and equipment and protect the OWNER'S interest therein,
including applicable insurance. The ENGINEER will, within ten (10) days after receipt of each
partial payment estimate, either indicate in writing approval of payment, and present the partial
payment estimate to the OWNER, or return the partial payment estimate to the CONTRACTOR
' indicating in writing the reasons for refusing to approve payment. In the latter case, the
CONTRACTOR may make the necessary corrections and re submit the partial payment estimate.
' The OWNER will, within ten (10) days of presentation of an approved partial payment estimate,
pay the CONTRACTOR a progress payment on the basis of fh*e approved partial payment estima
less the retainage. The retainage shall be an amount equal to 10% of said estimate until 50% of
the work has been completed. At 50% completion, further partial payments shall be made in ful
to the CONTRACTOR and no additional amounts may be retained unless the ENGINEER certifi
that the job is not proceeding satisfactorily, but amounts previously retained shall not be paid to
the CONTRACTOR. At 50% completion or any time thereafter when the progress of the WOR
is not satisfactory, additional amounts may be retained but in no event shall the total retainage be
more than 10% of the value of the work completed. Upon substantial completion of the WORK
' any amount retained may be paid to the CONTRACTOR. When the WORK has been substantial
completed except for WORK which cannot be completed because of weather conditions, lack of
materials or other reasons which in the judgment of the OWNER are valid reasons for non
completion, the OWNER may make additional payments, retaining at all times an amount
sufficient to cover the estimated cost of the WORK still to be completed.
' 19.2 The request for payment may also include an allowance for the cost of such major materials and
equipment which are suitably stored either at or near the site.
19.3 Prior to SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION, the OWNER, with the approval of the ENGINEER a
with the concurrence of the CONTRACTOR, may use any completed or substantially completed
portions of the WORK. Such use shall not constitute an acceptance of such portions of the
WORK.

Page 14 '
19.4 The OWNER shall have the right to enter the premises for the purpose of doing work not covered
by the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. This provision shall not be construed as relieving the
CONTRACTOR of the sole responsibility for the care and protection of the WORK, or the
restoration of any damaged WORK except such as may be caused by agents or employees of the
OWNER.
19.5 Upon completion and acceptance of the NVORK, the ENGINEER shall issue a certificate attached
to the final payment request that the WORK has been accepted under the conditions of the
CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. The entire balance found to be due the CONTRACTOR, including
the retained percentages, but except such sums as may be lawfully retained by the OWNER, shall
be paid to the CONTRACTOR within thirty (30) days of completion and acceptance of the
WORK. ,
19.6 The CONTRACTOR will indemnify and save the OWNER or the OWNER'S agents harmless '
from all claims growing out of the lawful demand of SUBCONTRACTORS, laborers, workmen,
mechanics, materialmen, and furnishers of machinery and parts thereof, equipment, tools, and all
supplies, incurred in the furtherance of the performance of the WORK. The CONTRACTOR ,
shall, at the OWNER'S request, furnish satisfactory evidence that all obligations of the nature
designated above have been paid, discharged, or waived. If the CONTRACTOR fails to do so the
OWNER may, after having notified the CONTRACTOR, either pay unpaid bills or withhold from
the CONTRACTOR'S unpaid compensation a sum of money deemed reasonably sufficient to pay
any and all such lawful claims until satisfactory evidence is furnished that all liabilities have been
fully discharged whereupon payment to the CONTRACTOR shall be resumed in accordance with ,
the terms of the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS, but in no event shall the provisions of this sentence
be construed to impose any obligations upon the OWNER to either the CONTRACTOR, the
CONTRACTOR'S Surety, or any third party. In paying any unpaid bills of the CONTRACTOR, t
any payment so made by the OWNER shall be considered as a payment made under the
CONTRACT DOCUMENTS by the OWNER to the CONTRACTOR and the OWNER shall not ,
be liable to the CONTRACTOR for any such payments made in good faith.
19.7 If the OWNER fails to make payment thirty (30) days after approval by the ENGINEER, in
addition to other remedies available to the CONTRACTOR, there shall be added to each such
payment interest at the maximum legal rate commencing on the first day after said payment is due
and continuing until the payment is received by the CONTRACTOR.

FmHA Instruction 1901-D
Exhibit A
Labor Standards Provisions, Title 29, Subtitle A, Part 5,
Section 5.5, Contract provisions and related matters.
The following provisions are to be attached to Farmers Home Administra-
tion (FmHA) construction contract documents as required to comply with
the Davis-Bacon Act. Any modification of these provisions to meet the
particular needs of FmHA must first be approved by the Department of
Labor.
(1) Minimum wages.
(i) All mechanics, and laborers employed or working upon the site
of the work, or under the United States Housing Act of 1937 or under
the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or development of the pro-
ject, will be paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week,
and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except
such payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations issued by the
Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR Part 3), the full
amounts due at time of payment computed at wage rates not less than
those contained in the wage determination decision of the Secretary
of Labor which is attached hereto and made,a part hereof, regardless
of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between
the contractor and such laborers and mechanics; and the wage deter-
mination decision shall be posted by the contractor at the site of the
work in a prominent place where it can be easily seen by the workers.
For the purpose of this clause, contributions made or costs reasonably
anticipated under section 1 (b) (2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf
of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers
or mechanics, subject to the provisions of 29 CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (iv).
Also for the purpose of this clause, regular contributions made or
costs incurred for more than a weekly period under plans, funds, or
programs, but covering the particular weekly period, are deemed to
be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period.
(ii) The contracting officer shall require that class of laborers
or mechanics which is not listed in the wage determination and-which
is to be employed under the contract, shall be classified or reclassi-
fied conformably to the wage determination, and a report of the action
taken shall be sent by FnHA to the Secretary of Labor. In the event
the interested parties cannot agree on the proper classification or
reclassification of a particular class of laborers and mechanics to be
used, the question accompanied by the recommendation of the contrac-
ting officer shall be referred to the Secretary for final determination.
(5-12-76) PM 517

FmHA Instruction 1901-D
Exhibit A
(iii) The contracting officer shall require, whenever the minimum
wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or mechanics
includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly wage
rate and the contractor is-obligated to pay a cash equivalent of s..:h
a fringe benefit, an hourly cash equivalent thereof to be establi::i>d.
In the event the interested parties cannot agree upon a cash equi :•.ent
of the fringe benefit, the question, accompanied by the recommena-i:ion
of the contracting officer, shall be referred to the Secretary o:- Labor
for determination.
(iv) If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee or
other third person, he may consider as part of the wages of any laborer
or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing
benefits under a plan or program,of a type expressly listed in the wage
determination decision of the Secretary of Labor which is a part of
this contract: Provided, however, The Secretary of Labor has found,
upon the written request of the contractor, that the applicable standards
of the Davis-Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require
the contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting
of obligations under the plan or program.
(2) Withholding.
FmHA may withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor so
much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary
to pay laborers and mechanics employed by the contractor or any
subcontractor on the work the full amount of wages required by the
contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic
employed or working on the site of the work, or under the United States
Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construc-
tion or development of the project, all or part of the wages required
by the contract, FmHA may, after written notice to the contractor,
sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary
to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee
of funds until such vio-lations have ceased.
(3) Payrolls and basic records.
(i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto will be maintained
during the course of the work and preserved for a period of three
years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of
the work, or under the United States Housing Act of 1937, or under the
Housing Act of 1949, in the construction or development of the project.
Such records will contain the name and address of each such employee,

FmHA Instruction 1901-D
Exhibit A
his correct classification, rates of pay (including rates of contribu-
tions or costs anticipated of the types described in section 1 (b) (2)
of the Davis-Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours worked,
deductions made and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of
Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (iv) that the wages of any
laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably
anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described
' in section 1 (b) (2) (B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, the contractor shall
maintain records which show that the commitment to provide such
benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially
responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated
' in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which
show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing
such benefits. `
' (ii) The contractor will submit weekly a copy of all payrolls
to FmHA if the agency is a party to the contract, but if the agency
is not such a party the contractor will submit the payrolls to the
applicant, sponsor, or owner as the case may be, for transmission to
FmHA. The copy shall be accompanied by a statement signed by
the employer or his agent indicating that the payrolls are correct
' and complete, that the wage rates contained therein are not less
than those determined by the Secretary of Labor and that the classi-
fications set forth for each.laborer or mechanic conform with the
work he performed. A submission of a "Weekly Statement of Compliance"
' which is required under this contract and the Copeland regulations
of the Secretary of Labor (29 CFR, Part 3) and the filing with the
initial payroll or any subsequent payroll of a copy of any findings
by the Secretary of Labor under 29 CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (iv) shall
satisfy this requirement. The prime contractor shall be responsible
for the submission of copies of payrolls of all subcontractors.
' The contractor will make the records required under the labor
standards clauses of the contract available for inspection by
authorized representatives of FmHA and the Department of Labor,
and will permit such representatives to interview employees during
working hours on the job.
(4) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work as such
only when they are registered, individually, under a bona fide apprentice-
ship program registered with a State apprenticeship agency which is
recognized by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, United States
Department of Labor; or, if no such recognized agency exists in a
State, under a program registered with the Bureau of Apprenticeship and
Training, United States Department of Labor. The allowable ratio of

wage rate determined by the Secretary of Labor for the classificat-I o: '
work he actually.performed. The contractor or subcontractor will -.
required to furnish to the contracting officer written evidence o: :he
registration of his program and apprentices as well as of the apc--apriate '
ratios and wage rates, for the area of construction prior to usi ., any
apprentices on the --ontract work.
(5) Compliance with Copeland Regulations (29 CFR Part 3). The ,
contractor shall comply with the Copeland Regulations CFR Part 3) of
the Secretary of Labor which are herein incorporated by reference.
'
(6) Subcontracts. The contractor will insert in any subcontracts
the clauses contained in 29 CFR 5.5 (a) (1) through (5) and (7) and such
other clauses as FmHA may by appropriate instructions require, and also

a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any '
lower tier subcontracts which they may enter into, tggether with a clause `
requiring this insertion in any further subcontracts that may in turn be
made. ..

' SECTION 02110
CLEARING AND GRUBBING
1. DESCRIPTION:
1.1 The clearing work covered by this section consists of cutting, removing and
properly disposing of vegetation and debris. Trees specifically identified on the plans to
be preserved shall be adequately delineated and flagged by the Contractor, such that
' the balance of the work may be performed in a safe and harmless manner in the vicinity
of preserved trees. Such tree preservation will be considered part of the work and shall
be in conformance with applicable local codes and regulations.
1.2 The grubbing work covered by this section consists of removing and properly
disposing of all surface vegetation and debris. Where the material being removed is
high in organic matter content, such as root mat and other vegetative matter, it shall be
considered vegetation and removed as part of the work of grubbing. Where material
1 being removed consists predominantly of soils, such removal will be considered part of
the work covered by Section 02210 of these specifications, entitled Unclassified
Excavation and Grading.
1.3 The work of clearing and grubbing shall also include the removal and satisfactory
disposal of crops, weeds and other annual growth; the removal and satisfactory
' disposal of fences, steps, walls, chimneys, column footings, other footings, foundation
slabs, basements, other foundation components, signs, junked vehicles, and other
rubble and debris; and the filling of holes and depressions. This work shall also be
' performed in all non-wooded areas within the construction limits, shown on the project
plans upon which seeding and mulching, sprigging or sodding is to be performed.
As `a part of the work of clearing and grubbing, the Contractor will be required to
perform the following:
1.3.1 Cut off and plug at the right of way or construction limits, as directed by the
Engineer, any private water or sewer line intercepted during the construction of the
project.
1.3.2 Cut off and remove from the construction area any septic tank or portion thereof
' during the construction of the project.
1.4 Clearing and grubbing operations shall be completed sufficiently in advance of
grading operations as may be necessary to prevent any of the debris from the clearing

6.2. Infiltration/Exfiltration Test (Use All Manholesl:
6.2.1. The use of this method for sewer pipe, in lieu of air tests may be used as an
alternate test method.
6.22. Procedure:
1. Infiltration: Immediately following a period of heavy rain a test of work
constructed up until the time shall be made. Three measurements shall be made
at one (1) _hour intervals to compute the amount of the infiltration. Tests for
' manholes only shall be conducted on individual manholes. Tests for pipe and
manholes shall be performed on test sections not
exceeding 600 linear feet of collector sewer and shall include both pipe and
' manholes. The Engineer reserves the right to use his judgement as to whether
the ground is sufficiently saturated and/or whether the fall of rain is adequate to
permit making infiltration tests. In the event that sufficient rain does not occur
' before the date of completion, the Contractor shall be required to conduct the
tests at any time during a 30-day period following this date. Should Engineer
' determine that certain pipe or manholes cannot be tested by infiltration methods,
the Engineer may direct the filling of lines and the measurement of exfiltration.
The allowable rate of exfiltration shall be the same as for infiltration.
' 02730-11 96461.11/996

,
2. Exfiltration: Determine test sections as outlined for infiltration tests. Install a
temporary water plug at the inlet and outlet of the test section. Fill test section
with clean water up to the bottom of the lowest manhole frame within the test
section. Allow time for saturation of pipe and manholes refilling test section as
required. Beginning with a full test section, allow at least eight (8) hours to
elapse without adding water. Measure the water level at the beginning and end ,
of the elapsed time above. Compute the volume of water lost in gallons per
hour. ,
6.2.3. Test Requirements: The rate of water loss/gain shall be less than the rate, in
gallons per hour, calculated for the test section using the following allowances:
1. Sewer main and manholes with or without service laterals; 100 gallons per 24
hours per inch of sewer main diameter per mile of sewer main (gpd/in-mi). ,
2. Manholes only; 1 gallon per 24 hours per vertical foot of manhole.
'
6.2.4. Corrective Measures: If actual leakage rate is greater than required leakage
